Match Report

TTA report

Neither side was totally convincing but Thistle were marginally better than previously unbeaten Thirds. A Donlevy pen (25) gave Thistle an overdue lead and they took command after half-time. Donlevy intercepted a loose pass, set up McParland down the right and Smith smashed the cross home (68).
